This study examined whether CD8+ T-cell responses from coronavirus disease 2019 convalescent individuals (n = 30) potentially maintain recognition of the major severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants (alpha, beta, gamma; n = 45 mutations assessed). Only 1 mutation found in Beta variant-spike overlapped with a previously identified epitope (1/52), suggesting that virtually all anti-SARS-CoV-2 CD8+ T-cell responses should recognize these newly described variants.
本研究检测了2019冠状病毒病康复个体(n = 30)的CD8+ T细胞反应是否有可能维持对主要的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)变体(α、β、γ;评估了n = 45个突变)的识别。在β变体刺突蛋白中发现的仅有1个突变与先前鉴定的表位重叠(1/52),这表明几乎所有抗SARS-CoV-2 CD8+ T细胞反应应该能够识别这些新描述的变体。
